How do you cope with multiple chronic problems?

Hi Karen, I can recommend a few books. I have a book called The Diet Cure, written by Julia Ross, M.A. I’m not a dieter, but the book has good information about nutrition and what foods do to our bodies. I also have The Fibro Manual. It has a small chapter on Rapair: Digestion. But a companion book, The Fibro Food Formula is a more inclusive and practical guide to foods for fibromyalgia. Both of those books are by Ginevra Lipton, MD. Dr Lipton was diagnosed with FMS during medical school. You can find her books and other info on http://www.fridacenter.com. I think a $5.00 digital book is available on http://www.fridabotanicals.com, or Amazon.com.
I have other books, let me try to find them. I’ve also read a lot of info about nutrition and foods for health online. I have smoothie books, natural foods cookbooks, etc. with good info and recipes. I can provide titles but I think any book that is top rated or best seller, like The Diet Cure will provide valuable information.
I’m often too fatigued or in pain to make big meals. But I’m also not cooking for family or kids! I have found ways to keep it simple and get decent value in food. I’m a smoothie person. I use strawberries, bananas, blueberry yogurt, almond milk and protein powder and ice for one of my favorite smoothies. And I use Stevia as sugar if I want a touch of sweetness. There are great smoothie recipes online.
I hope this info helps! If I come across my other books or websites of interest, I’ll share more!

thank you so much Anne ! Fatigue is my main symptom along with insomnia.
I am able to work one day a week, but have to really try to exercise so I can keep up with my 2 year old grandson! I think smoothies might be a great thing to try 🙂
Thanks for taking the time to answer, I'll definitely look for a couple of the books you suggested:)
